Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), U2J Dielectric,
10 – 100 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
The KEMET Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer
Ceramic Capacitor in U2J dielectric incorporates a unique,
flexible termination system that is integrated with KEMET’s
standard termination materials. A conductive silver epoxy
is utilized between the base metal and nickel barrier layers
of the KEMET standard termination system in order to
establish pliability while maintaining terminal strength,
solderability and electrical performance. This technology
was developed in order to address the primary failure mode
of MLCCs — flex cracks, which are typically the result of
excessive tensile and shear stresses produced during
board flexure and thermal cycling. Flexible termination
technology inhibits the transfer of board stress to the
rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks which
can result in low insulation resistance (IR) or short circuit
failures. KEMET automotive grade capacitors meet the
demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200
qualification requirements.
systems. FT-CAP complements KEMET’s Open Mode,
Floating Electrode (FE-CAP), Floating Electrode with Flexible
Termination (FF-CAP), and KEMET Power Solutions (KPS)
product lines provide a complete portfolio of flex mitigation
solutions.
Combined with the stability of U2J dielectric and designed
to accommodate all capacitance requirements, these flexrobust devices are RoHS compliant, offer up to 5 mm of
flex-bend capability and capacitance change limited to –750
±20 ppm/°C from –55°C to +125°C. These devices are leadfree, RoHS and REACH compliant without exception and are
capable of withstanding multiple passes through a lead-free
solder reflow profile.
Although this technology does not eliminate the potential
for mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme
environmental and handling conditions, it does provide
superior flex performance over standard termination

Default packaging is “Bulk Bag.” An ordering code C-Spec is not required for “Bulk Bag” packaging.
The terms “Marked” and “Unmarked” pertain to laser marking option of capacitors. All packaging options labeled as “Unmarked” will contain
capacitors that have not been laser marked. The option to laser mark is not available on these devices. For more information see “Capacitor Marking.”
2
The 2 mm pitch option allows for double the packaging quantity of capacitors on a given reel size. This option is limited to EIA 0603 (1608 metric) case
size devices. For more information regarding 2 mm pitch option see “Tape & Reel Packaging Information.”
3
Reeling tape options (paper or plastic) are dependent on capacitor case size (l" x w") and thickness dimensions. See "Chip Thickness/Tape & Reel

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET automotive grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council.
Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in document AEC–Q200, Stress Test Qualification for Passive
Components. These products are supported by a Product Change Notification (PCN) and Production Part Approval Process
warrant (PPAP).
Automotive products offered through our distribution channel have been assigned an inclusive ordering code C-Spec, “AUTO.”
This C-Spec was developed in order to better serve small and medium-sized companies that prefer an automotive grade
component without the requirement to submit a customer Source Controlled Drawing (SCD) or specification for review by a
KEMET engineering specialist. This C-Spec is therefore not intended for use by KEMET OEM automotive customers and are
not granted the same “privileges” as other automotive C-Specs. Customer PCN approval and PPAP request levels are limited
(see details below.)
Product Change Notification (PCN)
The KEMET product change notification system is used to communicate primarily the following types of changes:
• Product/process changes that affect product form, fit, function, and/or reliability
• Changes in manufacturing site
• Product obsolescence

KEMET assigned C-Specs require the submittal of a customer SCD or customer specification for review. For additional information contact KEMET.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
The purpose of the Production Part Approval Process is:
• To ensure that supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements for the purchased parts.
• To provide the evidence that all customer engineering design records and specification requirements are properly
understood and fulfilled by the manufacturing organization.
• To demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to produce the part.

(Rated voltage applied for 120 ±5 seconds at 25°C)
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance > 1,000 pF
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."

The "Packaging C-Spec" is a 4 to 8 digit code which identifies the packaging type and/or product grade. When ordering, the proper code must be
included in the 15th through 22nd character positions of the ordering code. See "Ordering Information" section of this document for further details.
Commercial Grade product ordered without a packaging C-Spec will default to our standard "Bulk Bag" packaging. Contact KEMET if you require a bulk
bag packaging option for automotive grade products.
2
A packaging C-Spec (see note 1 above) is not required for "Bulk Bag" packaging (excluding Anti-Static Bulk Bag and automotive grade products). The
15th through 22nd character positions of the ordering code should be left blank. All product ordered without a packaging C-Spec will default to our
standard "Bulk Bag" packaging.

Density Level A: For low-density product applications. Recommended for wave solder applications and provides a wider process window for reflow
solder processes. KEMET only recommends wave soldering of EIA 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes.
Density Level B: For products with a moderate level of component density. Provides a robust solder attachment condition for reflow solder processes.
Density Level C: For high component density product applications. Before adapting the minimum land pattern variations the user should perform
qualification testing based on the conditions outlined in IPC Standard 7351 (IPC–7351).

Soldering Process
Recommended Soldering Technique:
• Solder wave or solder reflow for EIA case sizes 0603, 0805 and 1206
• All other EIA case sizes are limited to solder reflow only
Recommended Reflow Soldering Profile:
The KEMET families of surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (SMD MLCCs) are compatible with wave (single or dual),
convection, IR or vapor phase reflow techniques. Preheating of these components is recommended to avoid extreme thermal
stress. The KEMET recommended profile conditions for convection and IR reflow reflect the profile conditions of the IPC/JSTD-020 standard for moisture sensitivity testing. These devices can safely withstand a maximum of three reflow passes at
these conditions.

Storage and Handling
Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in
other environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres,
and long term storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature – reels may soften or warp,
and tape peel force may increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum
storage humidity not exceed 70% relative humidity. Temperature fluctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on
the parts and atmospheres should be free of chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability chip stock
should be used promptly, preferably within 1.5 years of receipt.
